Technological Advisory Council Actionable Recommendations - 2014 TAC workgroups provided recommendations to FCC staff in 2014 FCC staff reviewed recommendations in context of Bureau/Office responsibilities Bureaus/Offices established objectives based on these recommendations Progress on objectives will be tracked on continuing basis
WTB/OET/CGB Smart Phone Theft Establish FCC inter-Bureau Smartphone Theft Working Group to combat mobile device theft as evolving challenge to consumers/industry/law enforcement Underway in 2015 Work with industry in 2015 for specific commitments to: Continue to improve phone security Improve industry database approach to theft deterrence and mitigation; and improve reporting capability for stolen devices Increase effectiveness of consumer outreach by industry/law enforcement Consumer awareness of theft problem, importance of security, awareness of mitigation solutions, actions to be taken if phone is stolen
WTB Advance Sharing Identify additional target spectrum bands for sharing Communicate TAC’s recommendations in this area to NTIA (PPSG) Work with NTIA/PPSG to identify target band(s)
OET/EB/WTB Near term Work with CSMAC to incorporate TAC recommendations on transmitter identifiers and emission designators into “Straw - Man” enforcement proposal Develop FCC briefing paper on current use of emission designators in licensed and unlicensed services Long Term Move towards risk-informed interference assessment by: Increasing agency knowledge/expertise in quantitative risk assessment Developing pilot proposals in low risk situations
WCB Transition to IP Use rural service providers as test bed for technologies and/or cost models FCC implemented work group in 2013 based on earlier TAC recommendation for IP Transition In 2014 FCC initiated program to provide $100M for rural technology trials Incent construction of efficient middle mile networks Work with rural service providers to provide better deployment cost and operational models for a future evolvable IP environment Maintain a regulatory environment supporting broadband deployment

Agenda Mission Recap of MDTP Findings & Top Priority Recommendations Progress on MDTP MDTP working Group Plan for 2015 2 4 December 2014
MDTP WG Mission TAC workgroup will continue from 2014 Emphasis will be on longer term initiatives that will combat more sophisticated theft scenarios Developing recommendations on next generation anti-theft features Processes including recommendations for hardening of existing device identifiers and the possible need for new, more secure identifiers Security mechanisms with higher consumer acceptance (e.g. biometrics) More focused analysis of analysis overall theft ecosystem including how stolen devices are re-entered into the marketplace (e.g. recycling industry) Further recommendations on improved reporting mechanisms Consideration will also be given to the efficacy of extending theft prevention mechanisms to other classes of devices. Provide an assessment of progress made in the area of device theft prevention as some of these recommendations have been applied 3 4 December 2014

Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings No common national framework for smartphone anti-theft mitigation No current official national or international smartphone theft statistics Industry database has only been operational in the U.S. for the past few years Large number of law enforcement agencies makes aggregation of mobile device theft data a significant challenge Improved data collection is necessary to understand if measures being implemented are effective MDTP Working Group obtained preliminary data from 22 police jurisdictions supporting the view that smartphone theft is a major issue in the U.S. Destination of the millions of stolen smartphones is unknown 5 4 December 2014
Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings (continued) Industry groups (e.g., CTIA, GSMA-NA) have developed voluntary commitments and best practices on smartphone theft mitigation Major manufacturers and OS providers have committed to providing device- based solutions by July 2015 (CTIA) Not all mobile service providers have adopted these commitments Best practices need to be enhanced over time N o “silver bullet” that will eliminate smartphone theft A complementary suite of technical and operational mitigation techniques must be made available and applied to gain additional impact to mobile device theft There is evidence that implementation of specific solutions is impacting criminal activity Secure technology solutions are required to ensure unique device identifiers on all smartphones 6 4 December 2014
Recap of 2014 MDTP Findings (continued) Law enforcement needs a better understanding of anti-theft tools available to aid theft investigations; more user-friendly anti-theft tools for law enforcement will be a critical component of a successful solution Consumers must understand the benefit to broadly adopt phone theft deterrent measures – “opt - out” solutions should be the norm going forward The most effective anti-theft messaging comes from local law enforcement Service provider and manufacturer outreach is needed to supplement this effort 7 4 December 2014
Review of Top Priority Recommendations (December 2014) National Framework Deploy and Continue to Evolve Technology Solutions Engaging Consumers Engaging Law Enforcement Engaging the International Community 8 4 December 2014
Progress on MDTP Industry wide recognition of mobile device theft and solutions being implemented MDTP solutions take into account interests of consumers, industry, public safety Progress to prevent mobile device theft is being made New Data Reveal Thefts Down 40% In London; 22 % In San Francisco; And 16% In New York City http://www.ag.ny.gov/press-release/ag-schneiderman-london-mayor-johnson-and-da- gasc%C3%B3n-welcome-dramatic-global-drop 9
MDTP Plan for 2015 – Immediate Objectives Develop recommendations to achieve a national template geared toward on-device features like password protection and remote wipe/lock for Mobile Device Theft Prevention: Reduce complexity, significantly increase consumer use and reporting of theft Address issue of WiFi only device use Device Identifier Hardening Assess obstacles to and make recommendations for near term action Industry stolen device database Develop specifications for an effective database supporting: Comprehensive listings for stolen devices on a national/regional basis Effective reporting/use by key stakeholders Scaling to all service providers Broadest range of future devices Off-net use of stolen devices 10
